In the cat world, a stare is worth a thousand words. In this picture, Athena is terribly offended at Jasper’s boorish intrusion into what is obviously her Space. If we were to translate what my irritated little ball of tortoiseshell fur is saying with her squinty eyes…well, let’s just say it wouldn’t be appropriate for family entertainment.

Those of us who share our hearts and homes with cats know if we’re on the receiving end of that look, we’ve transgressed in some egregious way.

Jasper, busy watching a squirrel, is completely oblivious. He has no clue that Athena is hurling cat insults at him with a force and velocity that any major league baseball pitcher would be proud of.

It’s better that way.

Do your pets communicate with their eyes? What do they tell you?

Today’s post is part of the Wordless Wednesday blog hop. Take a tour through some of the great blogs below.

That’s funny. All three of my dogs have no clue what that look means. And then they’ll get whacked. Lilah doesn’t care. Jasper doesn’t understand. And Tucker gets sad; he doesn’t understand what he did to deserve a whack.

With eight of us, our humans are more than familiar with the “stink-eye.” Lily Olivia is the best at it as she has had the most practice. Much better for Jasper to live in his own little world of obliviousness. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

Oh, Calvin has that cute look too. Big eyes, tilty head? We call it the Puss in Boots look if you’ve seen any of the Shrek or the Puss in Boots movie, you’ll know what I mean. Athena is pretty good at that too.
